Cloverleaf Launches ShelfPoint To Gather Customer Data In-Store

Retail technology company Cloverleaf announced on Thursday the release of shelfPoint, a dynamic shelf solution for brick-and-mortar locations, which uses artificial intelligence to
capture data on customer engagement and sentiment.

The emergence of online shopping has not much diminished in-store traffic, with Forrester predicting 83% of purchases being made in
physical stores in 2017. Retailers, however, face difficulties generating actionable customer data.

“Online retail has demonstrated how powerful data insights can be,”
said Gordon Davidson, founder and CEO of Cloverleaf. “We’ve designed a solution to help retailers capture this level of data by attracting, engaging and converting customers in one of the
most underutilized yet powerful areas in the store: the shelf. Early pilots have already shown double-digit sales uplift and we’re excited to roll it out to retailers nationwide.”

While not yet mobile-enabled, that “ability is on our roadmap. Over time we want the retailer to be able to target on these devices effectively in-store,” Jan Murley, chief
strategy and marketing advisor at Cloverleaf, told Real-Time Daily.
